Hello,
I am on diabetes 10 years(it started when I was 4), on type 1 diabetes, using insulin pump (Medtronic Paradigm Veo).
Everything looking good but I have problems with insulin catheters.
They do every about 3 days curl.
I notice that by high sugar level.
Could be here any solutions for this? Do I need change insulin pump?
Could I change catheter earlier maybe?
Maybe it's not catheter problem?
I must not have suger lever high becouse I have problems with kidney.
Thanks for your answer
 
If you have a problem with the cannula then change that, it nothing to do with the pump.
 
Hi you are supposed to change your cannula at least every 3 days if not before, try changing at day 2 to see if that stops your issues.
 
Or try a different kind of catheter that can't curl or kink eg a stainless steel one.
